played around with oilers. Not sure when I will get alignment tool so I think I will go off law of averages and get them all close to the same. Me thinks You should be fine doing that! as for the seal are you using the wiper ring or just a bare seal!?

yup he weren't flippin burgers to qualify for that! banks are Criminal!

AHHH! out of my league!

Ch will be vGT me thinks!

I do understand your concern! Max book specs I would guess ! unfortunately we aren't there so I guess all we can do is count on your expertise to make a call! If they are all Mack parts If I were doing what you are doing I would go with it! and trust that the parts they made are good! ! have built quite a few 237 and 285 E6 and never encountered an issue BUT there is always that possibility I guess! your call Bro! I personally feel good about how your attacking this! Just Sayin!

So i see did you check the ring gap in the bores and you did have to file some ends! If you didnt file too much I would put this question in a a dark corner and move on! You can stew for ever on this ! Joey mentioned putting in a piston with out rings that is a good thought! But what is the min- max measurement with that method just a gut feel ! I have a gut feel as well and it is if it ran before it will run again ! if these pistons are NEW Mack pistons or the old ones they will be fine if they came with a kit they should be fine if they are what you ordered! Just ME!

Nope I not that guy! Sorry! No brain function today!🙄 This is another it ran before it will run again sinario!

Do you have the piston cooler target plate?

Injector cups!

Congrats bro!

agree! help others that's the idea here!

Oil sample! Never seen what you’re talking about ! Sounds as though you’ve been illenformed ! I have seen v8 drive into the shop with a Broken crank shaft they rarely seize! How many hours?

Should be a cap engine side front you may be able to grt at the rack end from there! Be gentle!

are You parts canoning short the the wires see if the code changes to short!

If You can get it into gear with out grinding AND you have the Inch and a half on the pedal I agree leave the bear sleeping! If it aint broke don't fix it! never seen one with out a clutch brake how ever ! in a unit this old they tended to put a spring loaded plate on the trans side for the brake to but against this one apears to have nothing! A picture with the pedal to the floor would maybe tell us if the brake is there or not!
